I've tried first two "Dell Computer Corp." devices and with 413c:8158 (first part is vendor id, second - product id) I had a luck (the Id of your device may very).

Then second step is just an update of a module file to:

Code:

/usr/sbin/hid2hci -v 413c -p 8158 -r hci -m dell

Now your bluetooth device should be enabled during startup. Only one problem still exists, the state of the bluetooth device will be reset if you will turn it off using the hardware turnoff button. If you will turn it on again, you will be required to enter hid2hci command manually.

I don't know why this happened. However, following your instructions I could reenable my Dell bluetooth wireless 370 module:
